[erosive]

A very big one, perhaps the size of your head, if not doubled. It'll help eat away the sadness.

[cacotopia]

i'll make a super special request just for you

my BFF

[erosive]

I want icing and sprinkles. Don't do that for any one of your other BFFs.

[cacotopia]

deal

but what do you do for YOUR bffs?

[erosive]

Other than gift them the pleasure of calling me their BFF?

I grow them flowers.

[ That's… something utterly vulnerable Zoya wishes to take back immediately. Why couldn't she say she simply gives them the time of day? ]

[cacotopia]

[ No takesies backsies. ]

What really?

like in a magical way or

[erosive]

In the normal way, you dolt. Not everything is magic.

[ "dolt" (affectionate) ]

Why is it so hard to believe I grow flowers?

[cacotopia]

well excuse me for asking, miss local queen of the fucking dragons

[ also affectionate. ]

idk i guess i wouldn't normally put kicking ass and having a garden together

[erosive]

Address me by my proper title, Petre. Koroleva chertovykh drakonov.

[ It's said with all the affection and laughter in the world! ]

Are you disappointed?

[cacotopia]

can i make that kcd? [ And confuse everyone that hears him do that from here on? ] won't be disappointed if you show me

[erosive]

[ It takes her a moment to figure out what "KCD" is. She's getting cool!

But it takes her a moment to respond. Although Wesley lives with her, she hasn't quite given him a grand tour of the garden and confided in him its true meaning. Does she want to do so with Petre? ]

It would disappoint me if I ever broke your heart. [ (sarcasm but also not) ] Get over here and I'll show you.

[cacotopia]

aww zoya

i mean kcd

let me just give mags [ Translation: Magda ] a heads up and i'll yeet myself out of the clinic over there

[erosive]

Stop dawdling and hurry up. I don't turn into a dragon after midnight.

[ Does Zoya know Cinderella? Who knows! She doesn't bother questioning what yeet means, either. She suspects it means he's on his way. ]
